Walgreen's

Finally made it out for a Walgreen's run yesterday. I fully expected them to be out of everything worth while, I mean it's a heavily couponed area and it was already Tuesday, 3 days into the sales. I was pleasantly surprised though finding enough of everything I needed to roll my RR's. First transaction went like this:

8 jars Ragu pasta sauce 2/$4
1 St. Ives Oatmeal Scrub body wash $2.99
1 Rolaids soft chew 18 ct Cherry $2.99
3 Right Guard Deodorants $2.99/each
3 Butterfinger Buzz candies $ .42/each
SUBTOTAL $32.21

Coupons used
3- .60/2 Ragu sauce
1- 1.50 St. Ives
1- 1.00 Rolaids
3- 1.00 Right Guard
and $6 for Wags Ad Q for .99 Right Guard (scan once, takes $2 off each Right Guard)
AFTER COUPONS $18.91

Paid with
4- $2 RR's
1- $10 RR
and 1.51 on a Wags gift card
TOTAL $19.51

Earned
$8 RR WYB 8 Ragu/Skippy/Hellman's
$3 RR for St. Ives
$2 RR for Rolaid's
TOTAL EARNED $13

NOTE: I had to buy the Butterfinger as a filler for my transaction. A filler is used when you have more coupons than items. The register will only accept enough coupons for which you have items for. Without the filler I would only have been able to use 2 of the RR's to pay, instead of the 5 because RR's are manufactuer's coupons. It doesn't matter how much or how little your filler costs it just needs to be there so the coupon can "attach" itself, so the cheapest item in the store makes a perfect filler.

I then went back for a second transaction:

Bought
3 Walgreens Reusable Shopping bags .99/each
3 John Freida Root Awakening hair care products 3/$15
1 St. Ives Oatmeal body scrub $2.99
SUBTOTAL $20.96

Coupons

1- 1.50 St. Ives
and 1.95 for Wags Ad Q making bags 3/$1
AFTER COUPONS $8.51

Paid
$8 RR from Ragu
$1.77 on Wags gift card (1.28 was tax)
TOTAL $9.77
